Egg Producers, and Women‘s Institute formed the Perth County Agriculture in the Classroom Com- mittee. Together they plan and imple- ment teacher training in conjunction with units of study prepared by Perth educators. This team approach has :f'fiagriculturegfz 'in‘ffi‘sifiiefitofom 1 been highly successful and is now being adopted by other counties. ' Currently the Ontario primary/ jUnlOl’ science curriculum is being rewritten. If you believe agriculture is on the leading edge of technolt igy and that the wellâ€"being of Canadians can be linked to the scientific accomplish- ments of Canadian agllL’llllUR research. then let the Mutant) Ministry of Education know you want agriculturally literate citizens graduating from Ontario’s schools. Agriculture in the Classronm is net for the short-sighted â€" there are no quick fixâ€"ups to agricultuml prob- lems. Agriculture issues are wide ranging and complex Helping students understand them is what Ag in the Classroom is all about. Suzanne [gitch is chairman of the upcoming National Agriculture in the Classroom Conference and a member of Women for the Support of Agriculture. IJ ll &( ltin l-eb. Mar. 1%?
